Title: Implant pour voies respiratoires et procedes de fabrication et d'utilisation correspondants
Inventor: HEGDE ANANT V
IPC: A61F5/56
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un implant pour voies respiratoires permettant de maintenir et/ou de créer une ouverture dans les voies respiratoires et des méthodes d'utilisation de l'implant. L'implant pour voies respiratoires comprend un élément déformable qui permet de régler l'ouverture d'une voie respiratoire. De préférence, cet élément déformable est un élément polymère électroactif. La mise sous tension de l'élément polymère électroactif forme un support pour les parois d'une voie respiratoire, lorsque ces parois s'affaissent, et, par conséquent, ouvre complètement ou partiellement la voie respiratoire. L'invention concerne également des méthodes permettant de traiter les troubles des voies respiratoires tels que l'apnée du sommeil et le ronflement à l'aide de cet implant pour voies respiratoires.

Abstract: A technique protects traffic (IP) against the failure of a border router between two domains in a computer network using Fast Reroute and backup tunnels. The border router (i.e., the 'protected border router') announces/advertises a list of all its adjacent next-hop routers (i.e., its 'neighbors') residing in first and second domains interconnected by the protected border router. A neighbor in the first domain that is immediately upstream to the protected border router and that is configured to protect the border router (i.e., the 'protecting router') learns address prefixes (i.e., 'protected prefixes') reachable from the next-hop router in the second domain (i.e., 'next-next-hops,' NNHOPs to the protected prefixes from the protecting router). The protecting router calculates a backup tunnel to each NNHOP that excludes the protected border router, and associates each backup tunnel with protected prefixes accordingly. When the protected border router fails, Fast Reroute is triggered, and the protected prefixes are rerouted by the protecting router onto an appropriate backup tunnel to a corresponding is NNHOP.

Abstract: Pigments are used to impart color in finished products. The performances of pigments can be improved by coating with suitable materials rendering suitable properties. For cosmetic applications the pigments are usually surface treated with hydrophobizing material rendering the pigments hydrophobic. This invention relates to the use of polyhydroxy fatty acid preferably dihydroxysteadc acid (DHSA) and/or metallic salts of dihydroxystearic acid (Metallic DHSA) to coat pigments in particular pigments to be used in color cosmetic formulations. DHSA is produced either from crude or refined oleic acid or via chemical transformation or biotransformation of suitable substrates, used either in crude or refined form and the metallic salts are produced either using crude or refined DHSA, DHSA and Metallic DHSA are used to coat pigments and when these coated pigments are incorporated into finished products formulations such as cosmetic formulations, enhanced performances are observed. In color cosmetics the enhanced performances include enhancing skin adhesion, better spreadability, increasing strength of the stick, increasing apparent size and increased hydrophobicity of make-up cosmetics such as lipsticks, foundations, mascaras, eye shadows etc.

Abstract: A method for controlling the temperature of a heat exchange medium in a heating or cooling system in which separate heat exchangers are fitted with control modules and which is driven by a central heating/cooling module. The control system monitors the same parameter for each heat exchanger and selects one heat exchanger whose measured parameter is furthest away from the target value. The heating/cooling module then changes the temperature of the heat exchange medium until the selected heat exchanger reaches the target value.

Abstract: A communication system and a timing control method are proposed that optimize timing in a sender and thereby enable information to be stably transmitted at the right timing. Under instructions from a timing controller in a receiver, the timing of driving a phase modulator in a sender is shifted by one step after another, and the then amount of clock shift and result of interference are monitored at the receiver and stored in a memory. The optimum timing is determined based on the stored data. Thus, a clock for driving the phase modulator in the sender can be set at the right timing. This is equivalent to compensating for group velocity dispersion due to wavelength dispersion that occurs when an optical signal channel and a clock signal channel are transmitted by wavelength division multiplexing transmission.

Abstract: A single, common correlation filter (CF) core is provided in a wireless system using CDMA (code division multiple access). A plurality of channels with different data rates are provided in the wireless system. The channels provided in the wireless system include the access channel, the maintenance channel, and the traffic channel in which information (e.g., pilot or data symbols or both) is transmitted at the tier 1 (which is the basic despreading rate), tier 2 and tier 3 rates. The data rate for transmitting the information is programmable by an external programmable processor, e.g., a digital signal processor (DSP). A user-unique code, such as a PN (pseudo-random noise) code, is applied to the information being transmitted in the channels of the wireless system. The information is modulated and transmitted in any one of the channels at any data rate. The transmitted information is correlated at the basic despreading rate (i.e., the tier 1 rate) in the correlation filter (CF) of the wireless system by time multiplexing delayed versions of the PN code (or orthogonal code, Walsh code) to the correlation filter core. The correlated information is then demultiplexed and demodulated. The demodulated information is summed at the proper integer multiple of the tier 1 rate to achieve the tier 2 and tier 3 rates. One or more signal components are selected (in terms of the received power, signal-to-noise ratio or multipath width) in a window or time period for optimal information recovery. The selecting step can also be implemented according to a preprogrammed time alignment. Furthermore, outputs from the demodulated information can be provided and combined for temporal diversity. Spatial diversity is achieved by providing a plurality of antennas, and a plurality of receivers at a location and providing a single, common correlation filter at each of the plurality of antennas of the receivers in the wireless system.

Abstract: A motion image encoding apparatus for a current image containing an object uses mesh representation for encoding a motion image. The encoding apparatus includes an object extractor (10) for extracting the object contained in the current image from received current image data and outputting object contour data indicating a contour of the extracted object. A predictive encoder (12-18) performs a predictive encoding operation using the current image data, prestored data of a reference image, and control points of meshes which divide one of the current image and the reference image, and generates motion information involved with the control points, differential data between the current image and the reference image, and predictive image data. An object difference generator (20, 22) selects differential data in an object region among the differential data supplied from the predictive encoder to encode the selected differential data based on the object contour data output from the object extractor, and generates the selected differential data and the encoded differential data. An adder (24) receives and adds the predictive image data output from the predictive encoder and the differential data selected in the object difference generator, and updates the reference image data prestored in the predictive encoder using the image data obtained by the addition result.
